If Apple launched the iPhone 5s today and offered it in these screen sizes, which would you pick? This isn't which screen size Apple should build, this is if Apple actually built the iPhone in all these sizes (which I know they never would) which would you buy?

I picked the 5" screen, originally I thought that is way to large but since I've been also using a GS4 I have fallen in love with that size. Every time I switch back to my iPhone 5 it feels tiny. Also, with the changes to iOS7 and being able to swipe to go back it eliminates the largest reason to have to access the top left portion of the screen.

Should have included 4.3 if in same form factor, than I would have checked it. If wider, than I would check 4 inch screen

I would assume, knowing Apple and their obsession with slimmer and slimmer bezels and thinner phones, that if they could fit the 4.3" in the same sized phone they would absolutely do that rather than make the phone larger.

I believe the next iphone will keep the same size and have a bigger screen.

And I think apple wants this since iphone 5 (hence the design on its back), but igzo wasn't ready...

I just went from an iPhone 4S to a HTC One. The One has a 4.7 inch screen. While it is very nice, it is too large for me to operate one handed most of the time. I think a 4.3 inch screen would be perfect for me. YMMV.

I would like something larger. The only reason I even have an iPad is that the iPhone 5 is difficult for me to use with my big fingers. If the iPhone were a 4.5-5" screen, I would have no reason to have an iPad.

Impossible for me to say, honestly. I'd have to see the phone. I would also have to know what Apple plans to do to allow apps to work on all of these new resolutions and form factors. I would LIKE something larger, but if that means not using my favorite apps, a larger phone is useless if all I get is easier web page browsing.
